Comfortable overnight stay between Western Cape and Eastern Cape. Always a pleasure! 6th visit on the way to the Eastern Cape. Hospitable and friendly welcome. Delicious toast cakes for dinner ordered in advance.

Gerieflike oornag tussen Weskaap en Ooskaap. Bly altyd lekker! 6de besoek oppad na Ooskaap. Gasvry en vriendelik ontvang. Heerlike roosterkoeke vir aandete vooraf bestel.

Characterful and peaceful. Characterful, peaceful and comfortable accommodation. The stars are breathtaking in the area. The most delicious lasagna ever eaten.

Karaktervol en rustig. Karaktervol, rustig en gemaklike verblyf. Die sterre is asemrowend in die area. Lekkerste lasagne ooit geëet.

Satisfactory, no effort is made. The accommodation is neat but tired. There were no other guests, which enhanced the experience as all areas outside the room are communal, with no privacy. It would be extremely unpleasant if there were other guests. The outside area is neat, but with neglected furniture. The sink is leaking and the shower floor consists of a peeling paint layer. The description of the accommodation is extremely misleading; there is no DStv, swimming pool, trained staff or luxury here. There is a half-filled farm pond, WiFi and a servant who brought a key. The hostess barely spoke three sentences and then disappeared. We never saw her again. I feel that the website needs to seriously address the prices and description of this accommodation. The website's reputation is being damaged.

Bevredigend, geen moeite word gedoen nie. Die akkommodasie is netjies, maar afgeleef. Daar was geen ander gaste nie, wat die ervaring verbeter het omdat alle areas buite die kamer gemeenskaplik is, met geen privaatheid nie. Dit sou uiters onaangenaam wees indien daar ook ander gaste was. Die buitearea is netjies, maar met verwaarloosde meubels. Die wasbak lek en die stortvloer bestaan uit ’n afgedopte verflaag. Die beskrywing van die akkommodasie is uiters misleidend; daar is geen DStv, swembad, opgeleide personeel of luuksheid hier nie. Daar is wel ’n halfvol plaasdam, WiFi en ’n bediende wat ’n sleutel gebring het. Die gasvrou het kwalik drie sinne gepraat en toe verdwyn. Ons het haar nooit weer gesien nie. Ek voel dat die webtuiste ernstig aandag moet gee aan hierdie akkommodasie se pryse en beskrywing. Die webtuiste se reputasie word beskadig.

A little disappointing. It was advertised alongside other venues in Calitzdorp without any clear indication that it is located 22 km outside of town, halfway to Oudtshoorn. There aren’t any self-catering facilities in the room. The on-site restaurant was closed and no adequate warning was given. On a Sunday afternoon, and being far out of town, it meant going to bed hungry. The entrance to the dirt road has a reception sign pointing to the restaurant, but there was nobody there. There wasn’t any other clear indication of where one should go to find the actual guest house. There is also no phone reception, which means one cannot call to obtain directions. The GPS point provided by the website only goes to the restaurant and reception area, which was closed and under construction. Note that the guest house is further up the road and there is no marked reception.

Good morning Stefanie, thank you for taking the time to review our property. I do however not understand the complaint since I contacted you at 09:00 on the date of arrival with all the information you needed to make a decision about dinner, etc. We do not advertise self-catering facilities at all, but room-only facilities. That being said, we do have microwaves, mini fridges and cutlery available. We do have a sign up at the road to show the direction of the guesthouse. I will however check the GPS coordinates to make sure all is still in order, but the area is bad with cellular signal. Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this. Kind regards, Elmarie
